Broken in 10.10 Yosemite?

[skyepn]

Is QuickNFO.qlgenerator working for anyone with OS X 10.10 Yosemite?
Doesn't seem to be working for me.....

[LEMONed]

I recompiled it with Xcode 6.1 under Yosemite and it worked.

[moebis]

LEMONed - Anyway to share the new compiled version for Yosemite? I don't have Xcode installed yet and I can imagine a lot of users who would never install Xcode would need this too.

[LEMONed]

Here u go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cg1ar5b7fo3ya8t/QuickNFO_qlgenerator.zip

Place it under /Library/Quicklook/

[denkristoffer]

I was having the same problem with both LEMONed's version and my own recompiled one. Turns out the reason was that I was using the user library ~/Library/QuickLook/. To fix it I had to use /Library/QuickLook as @LEMONed mentioned. Using the user library has worked for me ever since I started using QuickNFO many OS X versions ago, but perhaps Apple removed the need for it with Yosemite?

LEMONed, will that work in Mavericks 10.9.5 too? Thank you.

[LEMONed]

@gitguys Yes, it works perfectly with 10.9.5.

[Seacidal]

The link to LEMONed's version is dead and I'm very ignorant when it comes to Xcode. Any chance of a re-up? Thanks!

[babalooza]

+1 Like Seacidal I'd appreciate a download option for a version compiled with the latest Xcode. Or instructions how to do it on my own. Thanks!

UPDATE: This seems to do the trick: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9yrsrdqkz8rlkxe/QuickNFO.qlgenerator.zip

Place it into /Library/QuickLook and run the Terminal command qlmanage -r.

[Seacidal]

Thanks for the effort. Unfortunately, even with babalooza's update and Terminal commands, I'm still just getting a blank, black screen.

It still works on El Capitan. Download the compiled version here: QuickNFO.qlgenerator.zip (Built with Xcode 7.2.1) Install: Simply unzip and copy the QuickNFO.qlgenerator to Library/QuickLook.

[vigo]

macOS Sierra :(

[LEMONed]

@vigo works fine on Sierra. Make sure it's placed under /Library/QuickLook instead of ~/Library/Quicklook.

[vigo]

omg! @LEMONed thanx a lot man! shit! maybe some of other "not working" plugins work too? I usually put my stuff under ~/Library/Quicklook. Again thanx toooo much!

[gingerbeardman]

Thanks for the new download and placement tip.

[allixsenos]

confirmed works in /Library/Quicklook on 10.12.2

[SainteCelery]

Is there a reason it can no longer be used on a per user install basis? Was it re-coded to specifically prevent single user installations? Or did Sierra screw something up with the user quicklook library? I like to keep the os library as clean of detritus from user installations as possible.

[nrlquaker]

Have someone tried it on macOS Sierra 10.12.6? Its not working for me. I've rebuilt it with Xcode 9.0 - still not working. Not from ~/Library/QuickLook, not from /Library/QuickLook. Pinging @vigo

[gingerbeardman]

@nrlquaker have you tried the download above?

[nrlquaker]

@gingerbeardman Yes, I've tried this one. Not working for me.

[gingerbeardman]

@nrlquaker I'm not on 10.12.6, I'll have to wait until my wife's laptop is free.

But I'm on 10.13 Beta (17A362a) and it works for me?

without QuickNFO.qlgenerator

with /Library/QuickLook/QuickNFO.qlgenerator

Not sure why it isn't working for you? I do know it's required to wait a moment for the QuickLook daemon to notice the new qlgenerator and make it available for use on compatible files. So after install, I just keep trying quicklook on the .nfo file until it appears correctly. Maybe there's a better way to activate it, but this low-tech approach works for me.

[gingerbeardman]

My wife is on 10.12.5 (that's the best I can do, for now)

Works there also:

(poor image quality due to Messages downsizing/resampling the PNG)

[nrlquaker]

Working fine at 10.13.

...and still working fine at 10.14

If you find it broken in 10.14.1, here's one rebuilt with Xcode 10.1, tested and working:

and REMEMBER: ❌~/Library/Quicklook/ ✅/Library/Quicklook/

@LEMONed The thumbnail icons are not working properly. This is what I get in the examples directory:

I've used my own compiled version (because I reverted the colors again - sorry classic NFOs are white on black), but I also tried yours.

I didn't notice this. Looks like webview needs to be updated with wkwebview. I'll take a closer look when I have time.

[tessus]

I tried to use WKWebView a few days ago - with the result of no icons at all. But maybe you have more luck.
